Promise at Dawn Ratings & Reviews
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
The sentiment and warmth of Gary's memoir is often overcome by Dassin's rather heavy-handed and imprecise direction.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
That's about what Promise at Dawn leaves us with: Melina Mercouri moving triumphantly through a story that never quite engages her, or us.
TIME Magazine
Stefan Kanfer
Surely Scenarist-Director Jules Dassin jests. Or does he?
